Plus no nation in the world is stupid enough to back the US anymore in another pre-emptive invasion, so they'd be going at it alone. That, and there's a decent chance all of Iran's buddies would jump in, because they'd all be scared they're next, and we all know what happens if the US "liberates" you.
Then again, it wouldn't surprise me at all if the neo-cons actually want this, and are delusional enough to go for it. You know, nuclear war, re-instate the draft, martial law, and all that good stuff that comes with it.

I don't think the Iran strategy would be the same as the Iraq strategy. That is, a massive ground invasion would not be part of the plan. Months and months of strategic bombing and guided missles, perhaps tactical nukes - Think of it more as a seige. Iran would be on their knees and no soldier would ever step foot on their soil (save some special forces for target acquisition, etc.. but they wouldn't even know they were there).
I don't support a war in Iran and Im not american, so I have no vested political interest. I do however enjoy speculating about military conflicts.
